We climbed at Massey's today, Dec 11th with a group of 8. There was approx 5cms 
of new snow at valley bottom in this area that fell overnight on the 10th. 
Winds were calm in the valley, and there was little evidence of wind activity 
in the alpine today. No new avalanche observed.

We were able to get ropes up on a few lines today but keeping dry while 
climbing those lines was challenging. Bring lots of gloves and your goretex if 
you're headed that way. 

Play safe,
